Chewing gum any good?Or does anybody have a mor sensible idea.Big gap in my tooth is somewhat sensitive at the moment.

You can buy temporary filling kits from Boots.
If it’s open/you’ve lost a filling, then while you’re there, get some Clove oil.

The lingering feeling of Christmas is a small price to pay for the pain relief.

The temp filling kits really good.

Never travel without one now when away with work.

Anythings preferable to having to visit an African dentist poking about.

I had one in for three months -and although the dentist didn’t approve as i could have trapped dirt in there to fester – it was preferable to the pain.

:xTried the boots filling kit.The bugger just dissolves in my mouth.

sod and his law means i arrived on location 2 days ago .

eating a mint my colleague gave me

Fricking massive filling at the back upper left of my mouth gave out 🙁

quick brush of the teeth , deployed the temporary kit from my toiletrys back and lifes good 😀 there is a nack to getting them in – you dont want alot of saliva in your mouth or as you have found it disintagrates.
